Application Form

The Rank Foundation have two grant making programmes:

Major Grants. Anything over £7,500. We do NOT accept unsolicited appeals for our Major Grants programmes. These are mostly tied to our research driven projects. We are not currently accepting any new applications for Major Grants. We will review this again in June 2011.  Please do not send unsolicited postal applications – these will not be processed.

Minor Grants (Small Appeals). Minor grants of less than £7,500 are known as the Small Appeals programme. Eligibility for this is via our online application process. Please complete this in order to ascertain eligibility. If you are eligible, further advice is given. Please note: if asked for 'amount required' please give the total cost of the project. The Small Appeals programme is for capital costs only.  We do NOT fund salaries, running or core costs under this category. No exceptions.
